Person casually mentions thoughts of killing self etc. while not being a direct confession/seeking help and also clearly not joking. What do you do / considerations to make?
Go. Let's see how our EQs match the IQs i'm sure some of you take pride in.

Need to know more about the person to find the best solution.
But most who mention suicide casually are not necessarily self destructive but definitely hate their lives.
If it's someone close to me, i would try to help him/her somehow based on data i got on this person
if its someone random than this:

1) Find out if they are taking any medication. Some anti depressants have suicidal thoughts as side effects.
2) Find out if they have spoken to a doctor. If not, get them to. Depression where someone is feeling suicidal may well end in suicide.
3) Don't take risks with putting off 2) because you think you can counsel them, cheer them up, change their mind. You will just have it on your conscience when they top themselves.
4) This has fuck all to do with "EQ" or emotional intelligence, and everything to do with getting appropriate intervention.
